Getting your puppy from the breeder

Training starts the minute a new puppy is in our care in Fate, Texas. Once we pick the puppy from the litter, the first thing we wish to achieve is building confidence and a bond with this new puppy. We begin our relationship having fun even though we’re always teaching. Under our close guidance, we begin exposing the puppy to its new world. For example, getting him or her to follow us, climb stairs, walk over logs, and also get somewhat near to loud noises. By doing this, we are environmentally socializing your puppy to the world while reinforcing our bond. We are huge dog lovers, but still significantly aware in those moments it is imperative to focus more on being a leader and guide as the new puppy discovers this new world without the presence of its litter mates or mom.

Crucial time for learning
In the initial few weeks we are teaching your new puppy boundaries, trust and focus. There is no limit as to what we will integrate into our strategies. Frequently we make use of particular locations or objects to create an experience for the puppy. Sometimes a spur of the moment opportunity may present itself in Fate, Texas. Our options and creativity are endless. Every exposure and experience builds upon the prior one. Through all of this, we carefully monitor the puppy. We do not restrict ourselves to stiff rules. We try to get more creative, think outside the box, and make the most of events that unfold before us. Those opportunities are priceless when it comes down to teaching the puppy.

Every interaction with the new pup is a teaching moment. We often think of it as an early investment in the life of this pup. This is the first time away from his or her littermates and living with us in Fate, Texas. Puppies have a small window of time during brain development when they are most impressionable. This is called the imprinting also known as the critical learning period. Puppies learn more during this period than any other period of time in their lives. The quality and quantity of what they encounter will have a significant impact on their future personalities and decide much of their “good” or “bad” behavior tendencies. Throughout the imprinting period, every experience is critical. It is important to build their confidence. The expression ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ does not apply to their early interactions. Because puppies are soaking up every experience like a sponge, we must stay very aware of all interactions and yet still have a good time with our new puppy.

A Well-Mannered Pal
4 to 6 months 

A well-trained puppy is a lot more than just obedient. Knowing how to sit, stay or walk nicely on a loose leash are necessary things to learn. Good manners, great social skills and a healthy relationship with his or her family are vital. Additionally, desensitization, exposure to many different distractions and situations, along with having the flexibility to fit into a lifestyle in Fate, TX  is equally important.

Our focus is to create a puppy with impeccable manners and social skills. We begin by teaching obedience the day we bring them home from the breeder; which carries on as we refine the dog’s behavior. The goal is to have a solid foundation by about 4 to 6 months. We practice obedience, keeping it a normal request in our regular routine in addition to within each new situation we expose your puppy to. We go from shaping to defining commands and proofing them with distractions, duration and distance. Communication is at the core of our philosophy. Being clear and consistent is key. We restrict our words when giving commands. We want your dog to understand what we want when we give them the command. When we say ‘come’ or ‘here’ we expect 100% response immediately.

Proofing Behavior in a Social World in Fate, TX
6 months to young adult

Enter the teenage years– adolescence. This is the typical age when many dogs are re-homed or given up to shelters. The adolescent stage can find your sweet pup becoming a monster. That nice pup can be more mouthy and disobedient than you could ever imagine. Many owners hope their puppy will outgrow unfavorable behaviors. Their dog is testing what is permitted and what is not. Allowing a dog to continue rehearsing naughty acts makes changing unwanted behavior more difficult.

Working in the Real World in Fate, Texas
We work to stop any unwanted behavior by instilling boundaries and practicing obedience in high distraction locations. For instance, we practice recalls when your dog is extremely distracted possibly chasing something as common as a squirrel. We practice and proof obedience in high traffic locations, around barking dogs, near playgrounds and within public places.

As the dog goes through the adolescent stage we continue to challenge the dog by putting him or her in various situations. We imagine each situation as a picture. What does that look like to the puppy? How does that picture change from day to day or location to location. We are striving to teach a dog how to cope in every new and various environment or scenario. We are raising a dog that isn’t depending on continual commands that control what he or she should and shouldn’t do. In fact, we desire a dog that can make great choices. Our top priority is to have a well-balanced puppy, who will be comfortable your home.

We continue to reinforce and improve manners making good behavior a habit for the dog. During this time, the puppy has been residing with the trainer in his/her individual home. During this time, your puppy will also spend a few days and nights staying with another relative or friend. Offering this opportunity, encourages your puppy to continue to be confident and comfortable in different surroundings. This ensures those habits and good manners will stay when he/she moves in to your home in Fate, TX.
